Re: [ARCHIVED] Autonomy and Simulation Lag

I guess the count of the objects in the current lot causing this problem. Whenever i start a new game with empty lot or with a lot containing less object, it works smooth. In time i am filling the lot with object and the game starting to lag, sims are freezing, standing like mindless zombies. I don't know. Those were just what i saw in the game.

    Really? So you have noticed that too many objects on a lot is causing the problem...

    i don’t know if that’s the case- did someone from ea developers confirmed that? I don’t have too many objects on my lot- maybe it’s subjective thing- how many objects are “too many” and how to measure that?

    Ive noticed one strange thing.... maybe I could record that next time- when my sims are stuck there is something instant what fixing this problem instantly- I have a family with two adult sims and one child. When they freeze all I am choosing a child and for example giving it an order to for example “go here” or do whatever- just do. In that moment all sims are unblocked and doing things normally...

    How many objects are "too many"? I don't know. It seems it depends on the computer hardware. Putting items on the lot is increasing the workload for computer

    This lot seems empty enough to work properly.

    This is my home lot. I have that issue in this lot.

    And this is my library. Game works much smoother in this lot.

    My Sims were stuck yesterday. My Sim went to use the bathroom, and she was acting like she was actually stuck, like on the rug by the toilet. They've not done that before, I had to reset object her a few times and then teleport her to the middle of the room.A puddle also appeared behind her on the floor, but she didn't go to the bathroom so I don't know where that came from either. Are Sims being reported getting stuck on objects that use MOO? It was just a rug by the toilet, but she was stuck on it. The other Sims were frozen at same time this happened, but then they unfroze and went about what they were doing, but my other Sim was just stuck standing at the toilet. She just became pregnant, I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. And my Sim's lot does have a lot of objects on it, but I've had a Sim on a completely new empty lot I loaded to test do the same thing, so I don't think it's that causing the freezing. So I'm reporting that my Sims are freezing at random times, and also reporting that I believe my Sim was getting stuck on an object that moveobject was used on or a puddle that was on the floor for unknown reasons. 

    Also my pregnant Sim has a button option to throw up now? Is that a new thing or a bug? They never had that before, although I would kinda like it as an option for all the Sims because it's kinda funny :D 

    Thanks
